reporting system. Cooperation with the said structures is achieved through joint meetings and direct contacts and aimed at sharing experience and assessing needs and appropriate tools, in an effort to protect the right of persons deprived of their liberty, in compliance with OPCAT. It is worth mentioning here the NPM's participation in the conference organized by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman Treatment or Degrading Punishment (CPT), on the occasion of its 25th anniversary, which took place on 2 March 2015, in Strasbourg, France, where they discussed issues of special importance such as the fight against impunity in the police and in prisons, health care in prisons, juvenile detention and confinement and CPT standards in psychiatry. Another important cooperation in 2015 was the one established by the Danish Ombudsman and its NPM, the Danish Institute for Human Rights and Institute of Health Danish Against Torture, especially during the study tour conducted with the support of DANIDA Project, on 29th March – 2nd April; during such visit detention and the largest commissariat in Denmark were inspected. During 2015, the Ombudsman in the role of NPM, in collaboration with Border and Migration Police Directorate and FRONTEX, constantly monitored operations of voluntary and compulsory repatriation of Albanian citizens from EU countries and Schengen area member states with the purpose of duly transferring Albanian citizens with repatriations decisions from the territories of EU member states. NPM was member of the monitoring team along repatriation operations, along with Mechanisms from other countries, accomplishing its legal and constitutional role as a guarantor, and at the same time acting in compliance with Directive 2008/115/EC of the European Parliament on common standards between EU member states and third countries on independent monitoring by NPM of citizens repatriation from EU countries to their countries of origin. Compliant with its legal duties, the National Preventive Mechanism against Torture closely collaborated during 2015 with local Civil Society Organisations, specializuara në fushën e mbrojtjes të të drejtave të personave të privuar nga liria në vend. Beneficial was the collaboration with the Albanian Helsinki Committee in the framework of “Matra” Project where together with the Dutch Helsinki Committee, QSHRT and NPM of the Republic of Kosovo is working towards improving the living conditions and treatment of juveniles in detention centers in Albania and Kosovo. In addition, a fruitful cooperation has been the one with Përthyerje Association, and owing to this cooperation it was achieved the realization of joint inspections; inspections of a multidisciplinary and in-depth character, and auditoriums, conferences and seminars were held in order to highlight the problems found in prisons and commissariats, and discussions on finding solutions to them. Furthermore, as a result of the effective collaboration they produced a series of promotion materials (leaflets, posters, manuals) and made possible a series of training courses focusing on human rights with employees of the state police and security, health and psycho-social staff of prison administration. Trainings and promotional materials have been designed to increase knowledge on Human Rights in police units, in prisons and detention facilities in order to ensure respect for their rights, improvement of knowledge on the institution of the Ombudsman and its role as the National Preventive Mechanism against Torture and information on other supervisory mechanisms. Trainings for prison staff have also been focused on the Conventions ratified so as to ensure respect for human rights in Albania and abroad, focusing mainly on aspects such as admission, registration, movement and transfer, classification and settlement, physical environment and living conditions, health care, education and employment, religious activities, 7
